Where are all fines and forfeitures imposed from crimes, except parking offenses, deposited?

Fines and forfeitures imposed from crimes, except for parking offenses, are mandated by California law to be deposited with the county treasurer. This is because the county treasurer is responsible for managing funds received from various court activities, including those arising from criminal cases. Such arrangements ensure that the revenues generated from fines and forfeitures contribute to the county's overall budget and can be allocated to various services, such as law enforcement, public safety, and crime prevention programs.

In contrast, funds that relate to parking offenses are handled differently and typically go to city treasuries, reflecting the localized management of parking regulation. The court clerk's office is involved in the administrative processing of fines but does not serve as the final depository for these funds. The Department of Insurance pertains to issues related to insurance regulations and does not handle fines and forfeitures from criminal activities. Hence, the county treasurer is the correct entity for the deposit of such fines and forfeitures.
